Former governorship candidate Dino Melaye has taken a swipe at former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello after he was spotted at the High Court in Abuja.

Bello who has been run since he was declared wanted surrendered himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja. Reports indicate he arrived at EFCC headquarters, in Jabi, Abuja, with his private security details at about 1 p.m. on Tuesday.

Melaye, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been at loggerheads with Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

"Ex-white lion docked," he wrote in jest as Bello appeared in court.

Recall Oon 18 September, Bello, accompanied by his successor Governor Ododo, made a dramatic, controversial attempt to surrender himself at EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja.

The EFCC refused to arrest Mr Bello and instead attempted, on the same day, to apprehend him at the Kogi State Government Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, where he was being sheltered by Governor Ododo.

The encounter resulted in hours-long shootout following a confrontation that reportedly ensued between EFCC operatives and the governor’s security details.
